Each of the 3 blankets are offered in 2 sizes.

Yardage for booties is 100yds.

Blanket A is 28x36 (30x30) and requires 512 (595) yards. This is a stockinet stitch blanket with garter stitch trim. (photo shows this in red, and also in yellow, bright pink and orange (color Neon in the Shepherd Bulky Yarn)

Blanket B is 28x28 (36x36) and requires 425 (650) yards. This is a garter stitch blanket knit from corner to corner. (it is the pink one wrapped around the baby.)
